JPK Instruments AG is a Berlin-based German manufacturer of Atomic Force Microscopes, Optical Tweezers and Force Spectroscopes designed specifically for soft matter, life science and in-liquid measurements.
The NanoWizard Atomic Force Microscopes include designs for routine imaging, for materials science, for polymers, for biomaterials, biomolecules and live cell imaging with sub nanometre x/y/z-positioning resolution and force sensitivity into the 10-50 pN range. Liquid-safe imaging and correlative imaging with fluorescence, DIC or other high-resolution optical microscopies are guaranteed by the tip-scanning technology. Latest developments we will be presenting at NanoInnovation include our new ergonomic user interface, high-speed nanoscale mechanical mapping and high speed topographic imaging (on the order 1s per frame).
The JPK NanoTracker 2 Optical Tweezers offer highest force resolution, fastest detection speeds and most flexible design and is supplied in a small footprint, tidy and laser-safe housing, reducing interference with the fluorescence/confocal microscope operation. The turn-key instrument is compatible with advanced fluorescence microscopies including FRET, FCS etc. and has an easy to learn user-interface, bringing what was once a complex photonics laboratory test instrumentation into cell and molecular biology labs everywhere.
JPK instruments also supplies specific instrumentation for single cell and single molecule force spectroscopy. Single Cell Force Spectroscopy is used for instance to characterise cell-cell and cell-tissue adhesion, relevant in cancer propagation and diagnosis as well as in bacterial research, whilst Single Molecule Force Spectroscopy is used for instance for statistical analysis of molecular unfolding (structural information).
With over 80 employees world-wide, 10 sales offices and all manufacturing in our facilities in Berlin JPK is recognised as the world-leading manufacturer of AFM and force spectroscopes for soft and biological materials.
